170 On August 21, 2015, Hansen was sentenced to 18 months in prison and three years probation for the two counts of contempt. At that time, Hovind said he planned to rebuild his ministry. 162On Monday, May 18, 2015, the U.S. District Court made two decisions.

First, the Court granted the prosecutor's request for a 'without prejudice' dismissal of the three remaining charges against Hovind, allowing the prosecutor to go back to a Federal grand jury and seek a new indictment if desired. 167 Second, the Court rendered a judgment of acquittal on the criminal contempt charge on which Hovind had been found guilty by the jury. On that point, the Court concluded that in the specific order that Hovind had been found guilty of violating, there was no actual language that prohibited Hovind from doing anything. 168 169A trial on the counts on which the jury could not reach a verdict had been ordered to begin on May 18, 2015. 163 However, on Saturday, May 16, 2015, the prosecution filed its 'Government's Motion to Dismiss Counts One, Two and Four of the Superseding Indictment Without Prejudice,' citing 'issues regarding the technical sufficiency of the Superseding Indictment, including the adequacy of notice.'

164 Later on Saturday, May 16, the Court cancelled the jury selection and trial that had been scheduled to begin on Monday, May 18, in order, in the Court's words, to permit the defendants to respond to the government's motion. 165 166On March 2, 2015, the trial began in. On the first day of testimony, the prosecution discussed Hovind and Hansen's 'dozens of filings', including several, used to resist a court-ordered forfeiture due in part to legal advice Hovind took from his 'cellmate in a New Hampshire prison camp'. 159 The prosecution case included numerous emails, recorded phone calls, and court filings related to the forfeited properties. 153 The prosecution presented audio of Hovind characterizing a lis pendens by asking his daughter, 'Have you ever taken a step into dog crap and it gets stuck on your feet and it's really hard to get off?'

159 Hansen and Hovind took the stand in their own defense. According to journalist Kevin Robinson, during Hovind's testimony, he 'refused to give short answers' and said that he believed his actions were lawful. 160 On March 12, 2015, Hovind was found guilty on one count of criminal contempt, 161 Hansen on two counts of criminal contempt, 162 and on the remaining charges. 161On October 21, 2014, Hovind was indicted by a federal grand jury in Pensacola, Florida, on two counts of mail fraud, one count of conspiracy with to commit mail fraud, and one count of criminal contempt for 156 interfering with the sale of Pensacola properties Hovind was forced to forfeit as a result of the 2006 case. 155 Hovind and Hansen pleaded not guilty and were tried together. 157 158 Federal mail fraud and criminal contempt trial in 2015. In May 2013, facing the sale of lots that were once part of Dinosaur Adventure land, Hovind acted.

Using legal advice from another inmate, he filed a civil right suit against corrections personnel (a ') alleging that they intentionally delayed court documents which hindered another appeal. Based on the assumption that it would trigger a chain of rulings that would ultimately result in the original sentence being overturned, he then filed several lis pendens on the properties. 152 153 A federal judge rejected Hovind's claims and dismissed the filings , and asked for a 'show of cause' from Hovind to explain why he should not be found in for the false filings. 154 His release date was approaching when he would face new charges related to the lis pendens filings. 155In March 2012, the federal government sued Creation Science Evangelism to remove liens placed on Kent Hovind's former property that was seized after his conviction, and in June, the court ruled in favor of the government. 15136 to satisfy the debt.

136 The court ruling denying the Hovinds' appeal cleared the way for forfeiture proceedings on Hovind-owned properties, including those on which Dinosaur Adventure Land sat, to continue 14 The court accepted Eric's ownership of that property, but allowed the government to seize the other nine properties. 14 The government sought the property, deeded to Stoll and Eric prior to Hovind's convictions, since cash had been withdrawn from the bank accounts and could not be recovered. In a court filing, however, Eric Hovind said that he owned one of the properties and that he 'took active control over the lot by personally building a home on it with $70,000 he borrowed from CSE.' 150 attempted to prevent the forfeitures of Hovind's ten properties, including Dinosaur Adventure Land, in connection with Kent Hovind's federal tax problems.149In 2008, Eric Hovind and Glen Stoll, an individual who has been associated with theIn 2007, the government placed liens on ten of the Hovinds' properties for money owed 7 following a June 27, 2007 judgment, which included an order that the properties be forfeited under § 3613 for costs of $5,800, a fine of $2000, and restitution of $604,874.87.

144 On December 30, 2008, the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit denied the Hovinds' appeal and affirmed the convictions and sentences entered by the district court. 145 146 Following the appeal, Jo Hovind served her prison term from January 20, 2009 147 to December 3, 2009. In November 2010, Kent Hovind filed a motion in U.S. District Court Northern District of Florida claiming the prosecution and defense erred at various stages of the case; 142 it was denied the following May.

143Hovind appealed the amount of his 2006 U.S. Tax Court ruling on personal income taxes to the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit,' but on July 2, 2007, a three-judge panel denied the appeal, finding that Hovind had failed to raise the issue at the appropriate time. 141On June 29, 2007, Jo Hovind was sentenced to one year of imprisonment, three years of supervision upon release and fined $8,000. 134 In court, Jo Hovind offered explanations for the 45 checks just under $10,000 and for checks cashed before and after the reporting deadline, telling the judge 'I really did not have a leadership role in CSE' and finished 'I would never knowingly do anything illegal.' The judge said that while Kent was the principal authority at CSE, Jo managed the payroll; she had cashed roughly 200 checks totaling $1.5 million over a four-year period, relying on cash to avoid IRS scrutiny.

7 The denied both her and Kent's appeals on December 30, 2008, 136 and the denied (declined to hear the case) for Kent's case on November 2, 2009. 140On January 19, 2007, Hovind was sentenced to ten years in prison with three years probation and ordered to pay the federal government restitution of over $600,000. During the sentencing phase, a tearful Hovind, hoping to avoid prison, told the court, 'If it's just money the IRS wants, there are thousands of people out there who will help pay the money they want so I can go back out there and preach.' 137 However, Hovind's court room behavior was in stark contrast to phone calls he made while in jail and played by the prosecution. 138 The tapes, posted online by the Pensacola News Journal, included one conversation with Kent and his son, Eric Hovind, planning to hide a motor vehicle title and property deeds to prevent the government from collecting the property to pay for owed debt.

139 At sentencing, he denied being a ', 138 but the prosecution, 108 an IRS spokesman, 138 and the Pensacola News Journal 7 131 used the term to describe him.After the convictions, Hovind was incarcerated in the Escambia County Jail as a 'danger to the community' and a flight risk. 135 His wife would remain free until after the appeal. 136 Sentencing, appeals, and imprisonment (2007–present). The trial concluded on November 1 with the defense deciding not to present a case.

133 After closing arguments were presented on November 2, the jury deliberated three hours before finding the Hovinds guilty on all counts, 58 for Hovind and 45 for his wife. 134 The said, 'The saddest thing: Had they cooperated with the agents, they probably wouldn't be worrying about prison sentences now.' 113On October 21, 2006, the trial began in which he hoped to convince a jury that his amusement park admission and merchandise sales, over $5 million from 1999 through March 2004, belonged to God and cannot be taxed. 108 Evidence produced at the trial revealed that Jo Hovind had requested financial assistance from Baptist Healthcare claiming that the Hovinds had no income. 131 IRS agents told the court how Hovind attempted 'bullying tactics' and sued the government three times, which were thrown out, to pressure them to stop investigating. 108 The prosecution countered attempts to describe workers as missionaries, ministers, and volunteers, using memos explicitly calling them employees.

Workers testified that they had to punch time cards, had vacation and sick days, and did not receive 132At, Hovind claimed incomprehension to the charges, telling the court: 'I still don't understand what I'm being charged for and who is charging me.' 127 Magistrate Miles Davis asked Hovind if he wrote and spoke English, to which Hovind responded, 'To some degree.' Davis replied that the government adequately explained the allegations and the defendant understands the charges 'whether you want to admit it or not.' 130 Hovind stated that he did not recognize the government's right to try him on tax-fraud charges. At first he attempted to enter a plea of 'subornation of false muster,' but then entered a not guilty plea 'under duress' when the judge offered to enter a plea for him.

120 Hovind's passport and guns were seized. Hovind protested, arguing that he needed his passport to continue his evangelism work, and that 'thousands and thousands' were waiting to hear him preach in South Africa the following month. The court refused to reconsider, accepting the argument that 'like-minded people' might secret Hovind away if he left the country. 127On July 11, 2006, Hovind was on 58 counts in the in Pensacola. The first 12 counts were willful failure to collect, account for, and pay over federal income taxes and taxes, totaling $473,818 for the 12 fiscal quarters of 2001–2003.

The next 45 counts were knowingly structuring transactions by making multiple cash withdrawals totaling $430,500 in amounts just under the $10,000 which requires reporting (a technique known as '), for which his wife was also charged. The last count was corruptly endeavoring to by falsely listing the IRS as his only creditor when filing for bankruptcy, filing a false and frivolous lawsuit against the IRS in which he demanded damages for criminal trespass, making threats of harm to those investigating him and to those who might consider cooperating with the investigation, filing a false complaint against IRS agents investigating him, filing a false criminal complaint against IRS special agents (criminal investigators), and destroying records. 126 127 128 Because of reports of weapons on the Hovind property, the indictment was originally sealed for fear of danger to the arresting agents. 129 Federal criminal tax-related trial and convictions in 2006. On July 7, 2006, the found that Hovind was deficient in paying his federal income taxes in 1995–1997, totaling $520,099.

The Tax Court ruled that the IRS had a valid on Hovind's property and said that Hovind's defense was based on 'bizarre arguments, some of which constitute involving excise taxes and the alleged '100% voluntary' nature of the income tax.' 110 With penalties, he owed $3.3 million for tax years 1998–2006 by 2013. 124 125 Jo Hovind was ordered to pay $1.6 million. 3 124In Spring 2004, the IRS conducted an audit and criminal investigation regarding Hovind's unfiled personal Federal income tax for 1995–1997. 110 IRS agent Scott Schneider said, 'Since 1997, Hovind has engaged in financial transactions indicating sources of income and has made deposits to bank accounts well in excess of $1 million per year during some of these years, which would require the filing of federal income taxes.' 15 On June 3, 2004, the IRS executed a search warrant on Hovind's home and businesses to confiscate financial records and attempt to deliver notices of Federal of $504,957.24, which Hovind refused to accept.

110 121 122 Agents confiscated $42,000 in cash found in various places in the residence. Six guns were present, including an semiautomatic rifle. 120 That day, Hovind withdrew $70,000 from the CSE bank account, half in cash. 123On May 13, 1998, Hovind and his wife filed a 'Power of Attorney and Revocation of Signature' document in which would nullify any of their promises, debts, or legal agreements made prior to April 15, 1998. The Hovinds claimed they had signed government documents 'due to the use of various elements of fraud and misrepresentations, duress, coercion, under perjury, mistake, 'bankruptcy',' and argued that is a '. The document referred to the as 'the 'bankrupt' corporate government', renounced the Hovinds' and to become 'a natural citizen of 'America' and a natural sojourner', and referred to their home state of Florida as 'the State of Florida Body-Politic Corporation.'

119 Judges and the IRS did not appear to honor this as a legally relevant document in future decisions. 120 In 2002, Hovind was again delinquent in paying his taxes, and unsuccessfully sued the IRS for harassment. 120In 1998, the IRS requested account information after Hovind made claims about going back to the 1970s on an internet broadcast.

While his internet provider initially balked, the courts granted a subpoena on the basis that the IRS could demonstrate income and no filed income tax returns going back to 1991. 117 In 2003, Hovind would tell The New York Times, 'I haven't filed a tax return in 30 years.' 118On March 1, 1996, Hovind filed a Chapter 13 petition to avoid paying federal, claiming he was not a citizen of the United States and that he did not earn income. 115 He claimed that as a minister, everything he owned belonged to and he was not subject to paying taxes for doing God's work. 116 On June 5, 1996, the Court dismissed Hovind's bankruptcy case, finding he had lied about his possessions and income. The court upheld the IRS's determination that his claim 'was filed in bad faith for the sole purpose of avoiding payment of federal income taxes' and called Hovind's arguments 'patently absurd'.

It also said that 'the IRS has no record of the debtor ever having filed a federal income tax return.' 115According to the (IRS), Hovind earned $50,000 a year through speaking engagements, notes 4 30 and in 2002 alone, CSE sold more than $1.8 million in merchandise. 111 On average, Hovind made bank deposits in excess of $1 million each year, 112 and eventually that grew to about $2 million a year. 113 114 About half that income went to employees who were salaried or were paid hourly wages. However, Hovind derived 'substantial revenue' from these activities that appeared to be 'income to him personally'.

110Hovind was originally reported to the IRS by United States Tax Court as appearing to be 'based on various questionable trust documents purchased from, a known promoter of tax avoidance schemes', leading the Court to conclude that Hovind used these trust documents as well as other fraudulent means to conceal the ownership and control of his activities and properties. 110 Federal civil tax matters, bankruptcy, and renouncing citizenship (1996–2006).

In May 1999, he claimed 'the implementation of the NWO's world-domination plan was May 5, 2000.' 90 Politics and conspiraciesThe most widely distributed antievolution work, Big Daddy?, 85 was first published in 1972 notes 3 86 and revised several times; it is one of the controversial, comic strips intended to convert people to. 87 Material from Hovind was incorporated into the 2000 revision. 86 88 89 Chick tractsIn 2007, added a $100,000 in a appropriations bill, directed towards the 'to develop a plan to promote better science education'.

Their website included a document, 'A Battle Plan—Practical Steps to Combat Evolution' by Kent Hovind'. After a reporter's inquiries, the document, which called evolution 'not a harmless theory but a dangerous religious belief' and blamed it for atrocities by, and, was removed from their website. The earmark was withdrawn from the bill. 83 84Hovind was criticized for his involvement with 's Anti-Evolution Bill in 2001 (House Bill 2548). 80 81 This bill 'would have required that when public schools refer to evolution that it be identified as an unproven theory.' Opponents of the bill worried that it would subject Arkansas to the same type of derision that occurred when the state's balanced-treatment law was struck down in. 82 Holt called upon Hovind as an expert who 'testified for Holt before the State Agencies and Governmental Affairs Committee, alleging much of the information pertaining to evolution in our science textbooks is false.'

80 Political activityAnswers in Genesis dismissed the challenge as a gimmick. 45:172–3 A 2005 challenge on offered $250,000 to anyone who could prove that the (the deity of a parody religion constructed to make a point about giving time to alternate views on evolution) was not the father of Jesus.

79The premises of Hovind's offer have been rejected both by scientists and fellow creationists as fundamentally flawed. 44 77 Hovind's conditions would require a claimant to not only prove the theory of evolution, but also, and, and additionally prove that no gods could possibly exist. 77 The judges would be hand-picked without assurances that they would be unbiased or qualified to assess the merit of claims, and it is possible that no panel was convened when a claim was submitted.

Some forms of evidence would be excluded prior to judging. 78In 1990, Hovind made a $10,000 offer to anyone who could meet a set of requirements he said would prove evolution, and he later raised the amount to $250,000.

75 In 2007, Creation Science Evangelism removed the offer from its website.' 76 $250,000 offerDuring a debate with, Hovind said that had uncovered the leg bones of at a different site over a mile away in a deeper, quipping, 'I would like to know how fast the train was going that hit that chimpanzee.' 73 This was clearly contrary to the published statements by Johanson. After Hovind had been informed in 1993 that his statement was false, he agreed to stop using the claim. When he repeated the claim in 1995, he once more agreed he was in error.

74In May 2004, debated Hovind in front of a predominantly audience. Shermer claimed the exchange was 'not an intellectual exercise', but rather 'an emotional drama,' and concluded, 'Unless there is a subject that is truly debatable with a format that is fair, in a forum that is balanced, it only serves to belittle both the magisterium of science and the magisterium of religion.' 69 also debated Hovind, and expressed surprise at Hovind's ignorance of evolutionary theory.

Pigliucci recalled Hovind try 'to convince the audience that evolutionists believe humans came from rocks' and subsequently 'evolved from bananas.' 70, Director of Microscopy at, wrote that Hovind's ideas are not rational or scientific because they are not testable. 71 Hovind has repeatedly declined written debates where his claims would be scrutinized by scientists, for example, when offered. 72In 1993, Hovind announced that he would be debating the renowned evolutionary biologist, who had a longstanding opposition to debating Creationists and had turned down numerous challenges. When contacted about the announcement, Gould said he had never heard of Hovind, much less agreed to debate.

68Prior to his convictions, Hovind was a prolific debater. While Hovind campaigns against, the is essentially universal within the and, 64 while support for creationism is minimal among scientists in general, and virtually nonexistent among those in the relevant fields:, etc. Buckland classify his debate style, common among Young Earth Creationists, as: focused on winning by rhetoric rather than illuminating by careful examination of evidence. 67 DebatesIn the of, Hovind published and co-authored Claws, Jaws, and Dinosaurs with, another Creationist who has searched for under the belief that discovering a would somehow undermine evolutionary theory and that dinosaurs were.

10 Dinosaur Adventure Land had displays about the existence of the 49 and as history rather than legend. 28Hovind accuses to support, the has 33,000 sets of human remains in their basement, some taken alive (murder). 9 45 In an interview prior to speaking at, Hovind said 'You should have another rebellion here at Kent State and do it for the right reason,' the reason being protesting evolution and referred to the when he added, 'This time, don't get shot.' 60 Anti-evolution claims, an old-Earth creationist who runs the Old Earth Ministries website 56 (renamed from ), writes that Hovind's articles about humans and dinosaurs coexisting are unsupported by evidence and that they 'embarrass the young earth creation science community as a whole'.

57 58In a rare case of open dissent within the movement over the substance of creation science, 51 (AiG) published a 2002 position paper titled: 'Arguments we think creationists should NOT use'. 52 After Hovind issued a point-by-point rebuttal, 53, and Jonathan Sarfati of AiG wrote that the claims made by Hovind were 'fraudulent' and contained 'mistakes in facts and logic which do the creationist cause no good.' 30 44 52 In particular, AiG criticized Hovind for 'persistently using discredited or false arguments' as well as 'fraudulent claims' from, 44 and described one of Hovind's claims as 'self-refuting'. 54 Rancorous into U.S. And Australian chapters in 2005.

The Australian branch, renamed (CMI), maintained content critical of Hovind on their website, while the U.S. Branch, led by, removed it. 55 In 2009, CMI said that they had relaxed their stance because CSE's revamped website had removed some of Hovind's claims to which they objected. 44 Criticism from creationistsIn the next few months of the, the dead animals and plants were buried, and became, and fossils. 50 The last months of the flood included geological instability, when the shifted, forming.

With the issue still unresolved in April 2006, Escambia County officials shut the buildings.
